What is the relationship between identity and digital culture? How does the use of digital tools and network potentials shift identity psychologies in Europe in the 21st century?
Are the “I” politics of the west in the 90s dominant or is there now a space for “we” potentials of the next generation to emerge and make new multi-identity citizens?
Are intergenerational identity misunderstandings becoming restrictive to the evolution of new processes and new ID politics?
Can a new collective identity emerge in a Europe still emerging from separated systems based in an I/we syndrome? Is the precondition of the self-conception now linked to that of collective identity? This day will looking at the issues of identity shifts in relationship to a new Europe and digital culture, drawing from the experience of the attendees, and in particular visioning forward to the next generations of young ”Europeans” and the way they will form their (multi-)identities through their work and play in physical and virtual worlds.
Break Out groups:
- New Publics – spectator/creator
How will the creative participation of audience as players (not just spectators) affect and change artistic processes, the tools in use and the culture created? - Innovators or Imitators
Where and how do the true innovators come to the forefront? Is there a problem of mainstream imitators plagiarising the innovators, disallowing a true acknowledgement of interauthored cultural processes and outputs? How can the value chain from the true innovators to the mainstream be recognised and enabled in a fair and encouraging way?
